This one-hour, self-guided scavenger hunt uses a smartphone app and a live remote host to turn downtown Pickering into a playful zombie-apocalypse course. Expect to move at an urban walker’s pace across flat sidewalks, marina promenades and small public parks; challenges and item locations appear on the map so you can choose your own route. The short duration makes it ideal for families, groups of friends or team-building outings.
Pickering sits on Lake Ontario’s bluffy shore, shaped by glacial retreat; echoes of Indigenous pathways and 19th-century settlement still frame the waterfront and low ridgelines you’ll cross. Local color shows up in Frenchman’s Bay boats, farmers’ markets nearby and the suburban mosaic of storefronts that hide clever challenge locations.
Practicalities are simple: a charged smartphone with the app, comfortable walking shoes, and roughly 45–75 minutes of free time. Public transit and street parking make access straightforward; the experience is stroller-accessible and rated easy for fitness. The remote host monitors scores nationally, so you’re both competing and exploring.
Timing a midday or early evening slot highlights light on the bay and cooler temperatures. Bring a portable battery, watch for weather, and treat public spaces respectfully — keep noise reasonable and pack out any trash. The result is a brisk, imaginative way to see Pickering streets while racing to survive the undead rush.
